1. 0 Evidence. Both Assad and ISIS are Israel's enemies. Israel just views Assad as the first to be defeated and therefore the key to defeating Hezbollah.
2. Agreed.
3. Besides the fact many countries and groups have lobbies (S'audi lobby, Arab lobby, Muslim lobby, tobacco lobby etc.) if Israel has truly been lobbying the US to go to war with Iran for years yet instead the Obama government has made a peace treaty with Iran (despite Iran's anti-American policies) then this disproves the implication that Israel somehow controls US foreign policy. In fact it proves the opposite.
Far from genocide the Israel-Arab dispute is one of the lowest casualty major conflicts in history. In 70 years only about 25,000 civilians have been killed (150,000 have died in Syria in 3 years in comparison).
Various Muslim populations are punished because of who their governments are, and their corruption and mismanagement, not because of the USA.
No one is saying Israel is the USA's greatest ally in the world but certainly is, together with the Kurds, the USA's greatest ally in the region.
The USA has never had to fight Israel's wars for her, unlike the Arabs for instance the Gulf War to liberate Kuwait, Israel fights her own wars. In fact Israel is a world-leader in many military sectors so the relationship is muturally beneficial. For instance US marines train in Israel to fight house-to-house in urban areas.
